Refurbished workstations: frequently asked questions

What is a workstation computer?

A workstation is a desktop built for professional software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit and 3D or video tools. It supports more memory, Xeon processors and professional graphics cards, and is certified by software vendors.

Is a refurbished workstation good for CAD?

Yes. An HP Z, Dell Precision or Lenovo ThinkStation with a Xeon or Core i7, 32GB of RAM and a professional NVIDIA graphics card handles CAD and 3D work well, at a fraction of the new price.

What computer do I need for AutoCAD?

Autodesk's requirements for AutoCAD 2026 are 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, a 2.5 to 2.9 GHz processor with 8 logical cores, 8GB of RAM and a 2GB graphics card as a basic minimum. Autodesk recommends a 3 GHz or faster processor, 32GB of RAM, an 8GB graphics card and an SSD, which is where a workstation pays off.

Do you have laptop workstations?

Yes. HP ZBook, Dell Precision and Lenovo ThinkPad P mobile workstations are on our mobile workstations page.
